Bookmarks are a fun gift to make for readers - because after they are done reading the book you give, they can still use the bookmark and think of you!

The tricky part of this pattern is trusting that when you drop the slipped stitches that they won’t mysteriously run down your fabric. They won’t, I promise. Just be gentle and hope the dog doesn’t suddenly want to play at that precise moment. The pattern is from Barbara Walker’s 2nd Treasury, and you know she wouldn’t lead you astray.
